Friday, April 11, 2025 - President Donald Trump, the oldest person to assume the US presidency, is set to undergo his first physical health examination of his second term on Friday.
Trump, who turns 79 in June, is known for his love of fast
food but often talks about his robust physical and mental health.
Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday,
announced the planned exam.
“I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things
must be done,” he wrote.
The White House has not commented on the exam or what would
be included.
The physical tests could offer the first clear look at
Trump’s condition since his ear was grazed by a bullet in an assassination
attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July.
His campaign released a report by Ronny Jackson, Trump’s
former White House doctor, saying that the injuries were superficial.
Meanwhile, the White House typically determines what data
will be released from a president’s health exam.
The president is not compelled to release any information,
and there is no template for the presidential exam.
He released only limited information about his health during
his presidential campaigns.
Recall that during the 2024 election, Trump drew sharp
contrasts with his predecessor, Joe Biden, now 82, claiming he was younger and
fitter.
A White House doctor said in 2018, when Trump was serving
his first term, that he was in overall excellent health but needed to shed
weight and start a daily exercise routine.
